• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Warns of mind control.

If you wish to make a claim it is up to you to apply through the extablished route, Randi will not just read articles you've written. You need to focus on one claim - I would recomend projecting thoughts since that is easy to test, assuming you can control what thoughts are sent. You will also need to come up with a strict protocol for testing that will eliminate all possibility of trickery or chance. You can expect this to be vigorously debated and should not be offended if it is implied you are cheating, no-one will accuse you of being a fraud, but any chance of cheating must be eliminated.

It is a good idea to post any proposed protocol here so forum members can check it and propose improvements before you submit an application. Forum members do not represent the JREF, but are likely to ask the same questions.

I'm pretty sure you need to submit your challenge application according to the information on this page: http://www.randi.org/research/index.html.

I'm sure someone else can advise in more detail and perhaps assist you.

Telepathy has already been advised and assisted in great detail in this thread. Unfortunately rather than taking that advice he has started a new thread.
Cat pictures anyone ?

James Randi, being the busy man he is, is very likely to ignore your request entirely and issue a curt reply to the effect of, "apply or go away." If you are not the person with the supernatural powers, the same will pertain to whosoever is that person. At least here in the forum you have an opportunity to discuss these powers with other members. This, as suggested by others, may provide greater clarity about the nature and extent of such abilities, which in turn can minimise time and resource wastages in protocol establishment and testing procedures.

For example, have these powers been examined and/or witnessed and/or pronounced upon by any independent credible witnesses, such as a doctor, university professor, lawyer, etc.? Such isn't a requirement or proof, of course, but it helps in moving things forward.

All of which has been made redundant by Lothian's post.

[Attn mods: I think this thread is in the wrong sub-forum]

I thought I recognized him.

Cats it is.

Or we could start a game of MC.

Er, please forgive my rather spare acquaintance with the ins and outs of forum metaphor, but would someone care to clarify the above obscurities?

Thanks in advance.

When we get trolls spamming the forum, ignoring advice or not addressing points, rather that encouraging them forum posters often derail the thread with recipies or Photo’s of cats or a game of Mornington Crescent (MC)- Hence Mojo’s 'Turnham Green’ a common Mornington Crescent starting move, which allows experienced players to play beginners off against the East London Line gambit.

Ah, thank you kindly for that - things are now appreciably clearer.

Though feline photos and recipes present no difficulty, I am unfamiliar with "Mornington Crescent," which I will google anon.

Since Anacoluthon64 is unfamiliar with the game, perhaps we could start with something a bit less challenging like, say, Holloway Road - that gives him the option to do a more straightforward Circle Line, or perhaps Circle Line Reversal, which will make it easier for him to get into the game while still being interesting for more experienced players? Just a thought to help out a newbie.
 
I dont think Anacoluthon needs the help: Cheesy Hollow is a very impressive response, involving as it does a reverse diagonal in nib.

It's very kind of you to offer such, but googling has proved somewhat less fruitful than I'd hoped. There seems to be a surfeit of "rule sets" - and I use those terms and the inverted commas carefully - out there, so I'm not sure just which one applies here.

A more significant impediment is my inadequate familiarity with London's infrastructure. I think a better strategy might be for me to observe, and contribute when I think I can. The nature of any ensuing commentary, i.e. castigating or laudatory, will help me find the right, er, path where necessary.

So please continue where Mojo began.

Nice thinking. If I now play High Barnet, that's a nice example of the Circle Line Reversal with the Northern Line Switch - old-fashioned, but I like it.
 
Are you sure that's allowed after 'Luthon64's reverse diagonal was followed by Holloway Road? Doesn't the Edgware branch come into play here?
